National debt is now near $39 TRILLION.

The excellent journalists of the UK seem to have ignored this story. I wonder why when they plastered less egregious changes of policy by Starmer everywhere for days?

Farage, leading, as usual, by watching which way the crowd is moving and running to the front.

Fuck no. Absolutely not. Cut disability benefits but give tax dodgers a get out of jail free card?

Starmer guns blazing & launches deadly missiles.

Doubt it 🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: “She (Kemi Badenoch) said the UK should have joined the U.S and Israel in the initial offensive strikes. Then yesterday in the wake of the economic consequences she totally abandoned her position... that is the mother of all u-turns..”
